Expert Tips
- Bake meatballs (without salsa) in advance, then freeze up to 1 month. Heat salsa to boiling, then stir in frozen meatballs. Simmer uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are heated through. Great with either mild, medium or hot Old El Paso* Thick N' Chunky Salsa. Serve with rice and a tossed green salad.
